King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has signed a cooperation program with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in New York, the Saudi Press Agency reported Saturday.

The Center was represented by the Advisor at the Royal Court, the Supervisor General of the Center, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah, and from the UNDP, the Director of the Program, Achim Steiner, on the sidelines of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly on Friday, SPA said.

The program aims to exchange information, enhance the sharing of expertise and knowledge between the two sides, build capacities, research, and initiatives in the areas of sustainable livelihoods, peace-building efforts, crisis prevention, and recovery, achieving post-crisis stability, and linking development efforts, humanitarian work and peace, SPA said.

Rabeeah stressed that this program comes within the framework of the Kingdom's keenness to harness its capabilities to serve humanitarian issues, as well as to cooperate with the UN and its agencies, and the international community, in a way that contributes to promoting global humanitarian and relief efforts, the news agency added.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
